Ultra wide band transmitter
First Claim
1. A transmitter Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, comprising:
- a clock synchronization unit having a timing device with a clock speed;
at least one frequency divider coupled to said clock synchronization unit, said frequency divider configured to reduce said clock speed to generate a desired pulse repetition frequency;
at least one slot allocation unit coupled to said at least one frequency divider; and
a multiplexer/demultiplexer operatively coupled to said at least one slot allocation unit, said multiplexer/demultiplexer configured to merge a plurality of outgoing signals and configured to distribute a plurality of incoming signals.

Abstract
A transmitter system is provided. In one embodiment, the transmitter system includes a data modulation unit, which generates a stream of data that is synchronized with a master clock. The transmitter system additionally includes a transmitter that transmits the stream of synchronized data by way of an attached antenna. In another embodiment the transmitter system includes a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer. This Abstract is provided for the sole purpose of complying with the Abstract requirement rules that allow a reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure contained herein. This Abstract is submitted with the explicit understanding that it will not be used to interpret or to limit the scope or the meaning of the claims
